They are jealous and want to bring you down. People that don’t support you. Never let people around you set the limits in your life. You will always have people that will never believe your dreams will come true.

They will say you are…

too poor

too uneducated

too young

too crazy

You don’t have what it takes. You grow up in the wrong family – In the country…

Sometimes you have to have the faith that stands alone.

Because the dream God has given to you – is in YOU. NOT IN OTHER PEOPLE.

I AM MY FUTURE!

I can do all things through Jesus, because he gives me strength.Philippians 4:13

Take care of your thoughts for they will become words.Take care of your words because they will become actions.Take care of your words because they will become habits.Take care of your habits because they will form your character.Take care of your character because that will be your destiny.

YOU ARE YOUR FUTURE

I am not who the police say I am.

I am not who the teachers say I am.

I am not who my friends say I am.

I am not who my enemies say I am.

I am not who the devil says I am.

I am who God says I am.

God says I am …

Blessed

Wanted

Forgiven

Useful

Loved

I am a child of the living God.

I can do all things through Jesus, because he gives me strength. Philippians 4:13

Last Sunday a group of young sports enthusiasts came together to listen to the Elevate Campus Cycling Track vision. On person flew in from Phnom Penh just for this meeting. After walking around and telling the story of this exciting project. Everyone almost couldn’t wait till it will be open for the young Khmer people to use for free.

The first sports event is planed for the 13th June 2015

I am looking forward to see this place full of life soon.

If you want to help us finish this first phase of our project, please consider donating money to this cause.

You’re probably working on a job or project right now and saying,‘This is boring, let’s just deal with it and get it over with.

We’ll make the next one good.’

Whatever is on your desk right now, that’s the one.

Make THIS the best you possibly can.

It may not be great, but at least you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you did the best you possibly could, and you may learn something from it.

And you’re always free to do an alternative that does satisfy your creative standards.

Great opportunities don’t just come along.

That’s true, even if you’ve earned a reputation for doing good work (although that helps).

Give your very best – all the time!

If you want to do something great? Here is the key.

Whoever can be trusted with a little can also be trusted with a lot, and whoever is dishonest with a little is dishonest with a lot. Luke 16:10

Be faithful in the little things!

Make this year a year of being faithful in the small things.

The things that are not seen by others.

The hard work no one will ever thank you.

Successful solutions are often made by people

rebelling against bad opportunities.

There, the kids get to know Christian basic values, we tell them stories out of the Bible, we play and we do handicrafts. By now, we regularly have over 100 kids attending our Kid’s Church – just recently there were 148 little visitors.

So it’s not a surprise that our Kid’s Church house got too small very quickly. Soon we needed to spread out into the garden. In Spring – dry season – this was not really a problem, even though the sun was burning down on the kids very uncomfortably sometimes. For that reason we put up a makeshift black net to provide shade – problem solved. Or not really? During rainy season, this all looked a little bit different. The net does not provide shelter from sudden heavy rainfall. And the ground takes a long time to dry. In these muddy conditions, our thin floor mats don’t really help anymore. Often, the kids had to sit in the dirt or play football (soccer for the Americans) in the mud. And not to forget the mosquitoes, bugs and Co., who consider this moist landscape to be their paradise and with the kids there to feed on, the mosquitoes are having a field day every Sunday.

During these last months, the kids had to sit and play in the heavy rainfall and on the rain-sodden ground too often. Our big goal and our heart’s desire is to build the roof for our Kid’s Church before the next rainy season starts in May. But we still need donors for this project. We hope to start with construction soon, so we can be done on time, because building and constructing takes a tad longer in Cambodia than we are used to from Switzerland.

Your help makes it possible for us to see our project through. Do you want to be part of a dry Kid’s Church for our kids? Click here.

During nearly 6 weeks, our family was on a tour through Switzerland and Germany. At most places we organised a Cambodia Night, and at some places we were given the opportunity to speak on Sunday during the celebrations. At these events we got the chance to introduce our ICF and our work here with the Khmer people in Siem Reap to the audience. Additionally, we got the chance to refresh old relationships, to build new ones, and to collect toothbrushes for our Dental Project. A huge THANK YOU to all toothbrush donors!

During the Cambodia Night we talked about our work that was already done, about the difficulties and challenges we faced, the successes and the great moments, and especially about the people here that we love so much.

The goal of our trip was to find new donors as well as people who would like to apply for a job as an intern at ICF Cambodia. With so many projects going on at the moment and even more starting soon, we need more help, financially and staff-wise speaking, so that we can develop and grow more. Help us, so we don’t need to look for help elsewhere.
